BQ78Z100: Cell Balancing Current

Part Number: BQ78Z100
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24600, , BQ29200, BQ40Z50-R1

Hello!

In my schematic i'm using charger bq24600, with charge current 3A and Gas Bauge bq78z100 for cell balancing.

The datasheet for bq78z100 says that " for effective cell balancing series input resistors between 100 Ω and 1 kΩ are recommended"
The problem is RVC1 and RVC2 is too large for this Charge current.

Does bq78z100 have external cell balancing scheme like BQ29200 on external FET?
Or could i use RVC1 less then 100 Ohm?

Thank you for answers.
